Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson told a group of constituents he believes the FBI had advanced knowledge of the Jan. 6th riot but failed to act–even as he ripped a select committee probing the events as a 'total sham.' During his remarks, he repeatedly downplayed the actions of the mob that took part in the Capitol riot, saying there were 'a couple hundred really bad actors' among thousands he defended. 'By and large those folks were peaceful protesters,' said Johnson, days after four police officers testified about battling crowd members outside the Capitol. He said most 'wouldn't even consider breaking the law.'

FTA: "'I don’t say this publicly, but are you watching what’s happening in Michigan?” Johnson said. 'So you think the FBI had fully infiltrated the militias in Michigan, but they don’t know squat about what was happening on January 6th or what was happening with these groups? I’d say there is way more to the story,' he said, according to video published by the Washington Post. "

"Advanced knowledge"? Yeah, when FBI agents incite and plan something, they have advanced knowledge.
The FBI is now just a bunch of criminals with badges.

With over 14000 hours of tape withheld from examination, how many FBI agents are in these recordings, and how easy is it to identify these agents via face recognition? Asking for a friend.

I think it was the video of Capitol Police taking down the barricades and waving people into the Capitol building that kind of tipped people off. Charlottesville, VA, Lansing, Mi. and Washington, DC were well organized false flag operations coordinated by the IC as part of a color revolution to defeat President Trump by any means necessary. Eventually the truth will be exposed but the media is still trying to hold Joe "Lord of the Rig" Biden together long enough so that people forget the crimes that were committed. We will never forget.

Does the good Senator have body guards yet after making these claims?

This guy is the clone of Senator Charles Grassley. They hem and haw, accuse (on the floor of the senate), bawl, caterwaul on and on and on. When they are done they go on Maria Bartiroma's show and threaten all kinds of dire consequences for the wrong-doers. I'm tired of Step and Fetchit. They collect a lot of credit for doing nothing. Not reading this and I'm going to turn off Maria on Sunday morning. It's all a waste of time! Mothing happens. These two are swamp members tried and true.

The FBI knew about it, led it, seized the evidence, and are covering it up. The FBI targets their enemies, buddy up to them, get them to go with them, while the FBI commits illegal acts. Then the FBI charges them with illegal acts, and lying to the FBI. Despite never telling the truth, the FBI has never been charged with lying. The Asst and Assoc Directors are CNN and WaPo contributors.

Daily Mail is junk.
They consrued Johnson absolved the FBI from infoltrating the Michigan militia.
He DIDN'T say that. He ointed out that if the FBI was so on the ball about the Michigan Militia, that they COULDN'T have been clueless about Jan 6th.
I think the FBI has been instigating the worst of a lot of groups for a long, LONG time.
When a law enforcement agent instigates illegal activity while undercover, its called, among other things, entrapment.

So tell us something we didn’t already know

It starts at the top and that would be Nancy Pelosi, and whether she did all she could to protect the Capitol and those inside.
After all, she is directing them to arrest people which means she's directing them, or in charge, of them.
And remember, Nancy, no one is above the law, right?
